Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Ruolan served as the female lead in the original novel.

Initially a simple village girl from a small mountain hamlet, her fate took a drastic turn when she accidentally fell into the water and drowned. The soul of a modern -world girl inhabited her lifeless body.

Following this transmigration, the once naive village girl underwent a remarkable transformation. She became astute and resourceful, displaying a mult.i.tude of skills—from fis.h.i.+ng in the water and hunting in the mountains to composing poetry and even facing off against tigers. Her newfound capabilities seemed almost boundless.

The small mountain village was situated near a dense forest known as Gongw.a.n.g Mountain, harboring various ferocious beasts and bandit nests.

Upon realizing that her parents had pa.s.sed away, Su Ruolan, as the eldest sibling, now had the responsibility of caring for her two younger brothers and a sister. In their earlier days, the family’s survival depended on the meager earnings her two younger brothers could procure through odd jobs.

Unfortunately, one of her brothers suffered a leg injury during these ventures, lacking the funds needed for treatment. His wound became infected, pus.h.i.+ng him to the brink of death. The family’s sustenance relied solely on the earnings of the other brother, leading them to endure meager meals, often limited to a single bowl of porridge each day.

Upon Su Ruolan’s arrival, she immediately ventured into the mountains to secure food. Fortuitously, on the first day, she successfully hunted a yellow catfish. Carrying the bountiful catch home, she sold a portion of the meat to villagers, exchanging it for food and resolving the family’s immediate nutritional crisis.

Determined to address her brother’s leg injury, Su Ruolan continued her forays into the mountains the next day. Hunting emerged as the quickest means of earning money to facilitate her family’s survival.

Word had spread among the villagers that a tiger had ventured into the mountains, warning them to avoid the area to prevent potential fatal encounters.

However, the female lead, with her myriad skills, aimed to kill the tiger and sell its skin for a handsome sum. Unbeknownst to her, the mountain harbored not one but two tigers—a male and a female.

The tigress, in her heat, sought the male tiger’s advances. Oblivious to this, the female lead provocatively engaged the tigress, inadvertently attracting the attention of the male tiger.

In the book’s narrative, the female protagonist could only contend with one tiger, making her vulnerable in the presence of another. Just as she faced the imminent threat of being attacked, the male lead, the Third Prince, made a timely entrance, rescuing the damsel in distress—a scene cla.s.sic and reminiscent of ancient tales.

The Third Prince’s purpose for venturing into Gongw.a.n.g Mountain was to persuade the mountain bandits to submit to his authority. In a fortuitous turn of events, he happened upon the female lead.

The bandit leader in Gongw.a.n.g Mountain shared ties with the martial arts world’s leader, a hero who robbed the rich to aid the poor. Distinct from other bandits, they refrained from preying on the poor and only targeted the affluent. Moreover, proceeds from the stolen gold, silver, and jewelry were converted into silver to a.s.sist the less fortunate.

While the Third Prince had garnered support from the martial arts world leader through Lin Yue, the agreement with the bandit leader of Gongw.a.n.g Mountain remained elusive. The bandit leader proposed that if the Third Prince personally ventured into the mountains, they would reconsider their stance.

Eager to secure significant support, the Third Prince embarked on this solo mission. However, due to his delayed arrival caused by the rescue of the female lead, the bandit leader questioned his sincerity and barred his entry.

Later on, the female lead saved the bandit leader who was plotted against at the market. After entering the mountain, she used her shocking martial arts to subdue all the bandits in the mountain and became the second person to sit in the bandit nest.

The bandit leader, swayed by the influence of the female lead, eventually pledged allegiance to the Third Prince and offered his a.s.sistance.

The Third Prince sought Gong w.a.n.gshan’s support to a.s.semble an elite army capable of storming the palace..
